Introduction
In accordance with the Municipal Structures Act (No. 117 of 1998), the City of uMhlathuze Local Municipality
(the City of uMhlathuze or CoU) is the Water Services Authority (WSA) and the Water Services Provider
(WSP).
The WSA has a duty to all consumers, or potential consumers, in its area of jurisdiction to progressively ensure
efficient, affordable, economical and sustainable access to water supply and sanitation (collectively referred
to as water services). As a WSA, the CoU must focus on water services and on providing at least a basic level
of service to consumers in its area of jurisdiction.
To achieve this, the municipality takes a leading role in planning the following:
• Service Level Objectives;
• Water Resources;
• Water Conservation and Demand Management;
• Bulk Infrastructure;
• Institutional Arrangements;
• Organisational Support;
• Financial Management; and
• Tariff Policy.
The CoU is currently in the process of reviewing the Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) which was
adopted in 2013. It is envisaged that the 2018/19 WSDP will be council approved by May 2018 and a full copy
thereof will be available on the Department of Water and Sanitation’s (DWS) WSDP web-based system. The
WSDP is a key tool in achieving the objectives as mentioned above. The WSDP also feeds information into
the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), which is the annual multi-sectoral plan for the CoU. This report is an
outflow of the WSDP review process.
The Water Services Act, 1997 (Act No. 108 of 1997) places a duty on Water Services Authorities to prepare a
Water Services Development Plan as part of the process of preparing any integrated development plan.
Section 15 (5) of the Water Services Act, 1997 states that:
A water services development plan must form part of any integrated development plan contemplatedin the Local Government Transition Act, 1993 (Act No. 209 of 1993).
The purpose of this report is to provide relevant and summarized water services development planning inputs
for incorporation into the COU integrated development planning process and is structured as follows:
Section A: Status Quo Overview: providing a summarized view of the water services status quo interms of the water services functional business elements as aligned to the WSDP framework.
Section B: State of Water Services Planning: presents the status of- and references the waterservices development plan of the Water Services Authority.
Section C: Water Services Existing Needs Perspective: an overview of the WSA’s assessment andinterpretation of its water services, with specific focus on problem definition statements.
Section D: Water Services Objectives and Strategies: outlines the 5-year water services objectivesand strategies as developed through the water services development planning process forincorporation in terms of the integrated development plan and aligned to the water servicesfunctional business elements.

Section A: Status Quo Overview
The uMhlathuze Local Municipality was established on 5 December 2005 after the demarcation process and
the local government elections at that time. Following the 2016 local government elections, the former
Ntambanana Local Municipality was disestablished, and a portion of its former area was merged into the City
of uMhlathuze Local Municipality. The CoU land area covers 123 359 ha.
The Municipality is characterised by highly developed urban areas surrounded by large areas of undeveloped,
rural land. CoU Municipality comprises of Richards Bay, Empangeni, Vulindlela, eSikhaleni, eeNseleni,
Felixton, Ngwelezne and four Traditional Authority Areas. The Traditional areas (Dube, KwaKhoza, Mkhwanazi
North and South and Zunge-Madlebe) cover approximately 35% of the Municipal area.
The CoU contains a mixture of land use types that reflect the natural environment as well as activities
associated with commercial and subsistence farming and forestry. Sugar cane and to a lesser extent citrus
are the dominant crops under cultivation. Most of the economic activity (approximately 88%) takes place in
Richards Bay, Empangeni and Felixton.
The 2016 Community Survey reports that the population for the CoU is 410 456 people within 110 503
households and the 2018/18 Integrated Development Plan (IDP) also reflects these figures. The demographic
information used in the 2018/19 WSDP is in line with the 2016 Community Survey and reflects that CoU has
a population of 410 457 and 110 503 households.
The 2018/19 WSDP describes the current water services status quo of the WSA’s water and sanitation
infrastructure plans for the 2018/19 financial year as well as defining their water services future demands and
the projects that need to be implemented to address the current and future water services needs.
According to the backlogs quarterly report (31 March 2018), the current water backlog is 5.41% and sanitation
backlog 26.68% but the Draft IDP Review 2018-2019 reports that the water backlog at 31 December 2017 was
21.67% and the sanitation backlog 23.19%. Both reports indicate that the initial backlog figures of
30 June 2017 were revised to include additional households when new wards that were under King Cetshwayo
were merged with CoU.
As the Water Services Authority (WSA), the CoU has the responsibility to provide access to basic water supply,
as well as basic sanitation that necessary to secure sufficient water and an environment that is not harmful to
human health or well-being. Everyone has a right to basic water supply and basic sanitation.
Topic 1: Settlements, Demographics & Public Amenities
The following tables provide an overview of the current population and household figures within the City of
uMhlatuze. There are currently 410 457 people living within 110 503 households. The average household
size within the COU is 4.7 people per household.
The following tables indicate the settlements, urban/rural split and settlement type. The assessment score as
indicated on the DWS WSDP online system is included in the tables to illustrate the accuracy of the information
in Topic 1: Demographics & Public Amenities.
Settlement densities are highest in the formal urban areas, i.e. Empangeni, Richard’s Bay, eSikhaleni,
Ngwelezane, eNseleni, Vulindlela and Felixton. Areas of denser settlement in the rural (Traditional Council)
areas have developed at further distances from the formal urban areas. The distribution and allocation of land
in the Ingonyama Trust Board land leads to the formation of unplanned settlements which puts pressure on
the Municipality to provide water and sanitation services.

Settlement classification for rural areas is according to the number of people per settlement. Settlements with
less than 200 people are classified as scattered, a population of less than 5 000 as small and a population of
5 000 and more as dense villages. Most of the communities (28) within CoU are small villages with less than
5 000 people.
The CoU has identified the need to develop a detailed settlement layer that does not reflect the ward
boundaries but drills down to suburb level within a ward. The settlement layer will be updated during the
development of the bulk water master plan process. The expected completion date of the Bulk Water Master
Plan is September 2018.

rivers/streams/canals, industrial (stormwater streams), pumpstations (streams close to pumpstations);
• Coastal water – Alkanstrand 1 & 2;
• Groundwater – Municipal cemetery, landfill site; and
• Sewage – Industrial effluent (sewage network).
The CoU has embarked on installing monitoring equipment at all its water and wastewater works to monitor
and evaluate the plant process against standards and specifications. The Municipality has partnered with
CSIR who will support the current online equipment by integrating the CoU equipment with CSIR Water Quality
Monitoring Systems (WQMS).
Wastewater Monitoring
An extensive water quality monitoring programme for wastewater quality has been implemented.
The Draft IDP Review 2018-2019 reports that the Municipality has developed a sewage disposal system. The
Municipality ensures that all the contributors connected to the sewer system adhere to the required stipulations
of the Water Services By-Laws.
The Water Quality Management section has implemented a permit system which assists the Municipality to
minimise impacts to the sewage system from the discharge of effluent by industries.
The Municipality manages all industrial effluent discharge into the municipal sewage system by charging
industries penalty fees in cases on non-compliance depending on the severity of the non-compliance. CoU
has developed a Trade Effluent Policy which has been adopted by Council.

Feasibility Study to determine the viability of Re-using Treated Wastewater
The CoU recognised the importance of securing an adequate water supply to support its planned growth. CoU
identified that the water demand in 2025 is expected to increase by 75% and the demand is expected to exceed
the current lawful water use by the CoU within the next few years. CoU decided to undertake a comprehensive
feasibility study and identify the most viable solution for dealing with wastewater and associated by-products
generated within the Municipality.
The CoU appointed a Service Provider in December 2016 to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to
determine the viability of re-using treated wastewater to augment its other sources of water supply. The
purpose of the feasibility study is to assess whether conventional public procurement or a Public Private
Partnership (PPP) for the reuse of waste water is in the best interests of the CoU for the delivery of the service.
The following conclusions were made with the Feasibility Study:
• The expected growth in water demand within the municipal area of CoU will outgrow the available
yield from the water sources before a sufficient water augmentation can be implemented. This will
result that growth will be limited by the availability of water.
• Due to the proximity of CoU to the sea, the utilisation of treated effluent as re-use water will result in
augmenting the water source of CoU. The current total potential re-use volume for the CoU is 79,5 Mℓ
/day.
• Currently industries within the CoU are being supplied with potable water for their potable and
industrial requirements. Industries indicated that they can utilise 72,91 Mℓ /day of re-use water in lieu
of potable water.
• From a water resource perspective, the supply of re-use water should be maximised to match the total
demand for re-use water.
• The most beneficial option for the supply of re-use water is a regional treatment works with total
capacity of 75 Mℓ/day located at a site that is high enough to gravity feed to the off-takers. The effluent
will be collected through a pumped collection system. Various options were identified, and the option
selected as the preferred option, entails a 75 Mℓ/day treatment facility on a new regional site, which
collects and treats the effluent from the Ngwelezane WWTW, Empangeni WWTW, Alton Macerator,
Arboretum Macerator and Mondi Paper Mill WWTW, and supplies treated re-use water to the RB IDZ,
Foskor, South 32, RBM and Eskom. Since the existing treatment works at Empangeni and
Ngwelezane would be decommissioned and replaced by pump stations, all predicted future domestic
effluent flows to these treatment works would have to be accommodated by the new regional waste
water treatment plant that will form part of the re-use project. The same principal applies to the flows
that will be generated in the catchments of the Arboretum and Alton Macerator sites.
• The site for the regional treatment works is in the process of being secured by the CoU before the RfP
process.
• An economic analysis has shown that thermophilic digestion to be the most viable digestion option
and it was recommended that thermophilic digesters with biogas beneficiation for electricity production
using CHP engines be implemented as part of the project.
• As a social project a composting operation should be implemented as a final sludge treatment for the
sludge produced by the waste water treatment works.
• The Environmental Impact Assessment authorisation should commence as soon as TVR-I approval
for the project was obtained.
• The project is line with Section 78 of the Municipal Systems Act and all stakeholders are being
consulted.
• The tariff structure for sale of treated water to off-takers is comparable to tariffs that off-takers pay
currently, while transfers risk to the private party for design, build, finance, manage and operations.

• If the programme is adhered to, construction by the private party may begin as early as June 2019.
Topic 7: Finance
Service revenue from water has dropped significantly due to the reduction in usage from the effects of the
down-turn in the economy in the last few years and a reduction in consumer behaviour due to drought
restrictions. The CoU tariff structure includes tariffs for water, sanitation and drought water tariffs (stage 1 –
stage 4). Drought water tariffs for stage 5 will be determined and structured in a way that the Council will be
able to maintain the required budget as the tariffs are linked to a water reduction which is not currently
available. CoU review their tariffs annually and is approved by Council. Tariffs increases are kept below 7%
and amended and approved annually. The tiered municipal tariffs provide for an element of cross
subsidisation on the tariffs themselves. The level of debt collection has remained consistent and continuous
improvement is sort.
Current water, water drought and sanitation tariffs are indicated in the tables below.

CoU identified the operational repairs and maintenance of water and sanitation assets as imperative due to
the ageing infrastructure and historic deferred maintenance. For the 2018/2019 financial year the repairs and
maintenance budget has been increased. Water infrastructure received only R88 million during the 2017/2018
financial year, but this amount will be increased to R 106 million for the 2018/2019 financial year. Sanitation
received R 58 million during 2017/2018 but will receive R 65 million in the next financial year.
The provision of water is the third largest revenue contributor. The severe drought has resulted in lower
consumptions by both the households and industries in the area. The challenge the Municipality is facing is
that the bulk of the costs are fixed and instead of making a surplus, it is making a deficit.
Another challenge for the Municipality is that most of the households in CoU do not pay property rates or water
and sanitation charges as individual properties within the Ingonyama Trust land are not separately valued and
not subject to the Municipal Property Rates Act although most of these households receive municipal services
such as water and sanitation services.
Free Basic Services and Indigent Support
There are currently four separate policies that provide support to the indigent.
• The Indigent Policy;
• The Rates Policy;
• The Credit Control Policy; and
• The Free Basic Electricity Policy.
The CoU developed a social package to assist households that are indigent. The social package includes:
• Free water for consumers that consume 200 litres and less per day for a month or the first 6 000 litres
of water per month;
• When a consumer uses more than 200 litres per day for a month, then all water consumed needs to
be paid for;
• Free sewer, rates and refuse charges if the property is valued less than R120 000;
• Refuse skips are strategically placed; and
• Targeted support to very poor and child run households.
The cost of the social package of the registered indigent households is largely financed from the equitable
share received from the annual Division of Revenue Act. For the 2017/2018 financial year the equitable share
the Municipality received amounted to R 292 million while the social package totalled R 316.3 million. The
Municipality used internally generated funds to bridge the shortfall.
Topic 8: Water Services Institutional Arrangements and Customer Care
The CoU renders the water services provision function including the bulk- and retail functions in both its urban
and rural areas. CoU uses Mhlathuze Water to operate and maintain its municipal WTWs and WWTWs on
behalf of the Municipality. Because COU also gets its bulk water supplies from Mhlathuze Water, the Water
Board is a bulk WSP to the municipality for the supply of Richards Bay.

Page 26
The Municipal Strategic Self-Assessment (MuSSA) is an annual DWS survey each Water Service Authority
must undertake. The objective of the MuSSA is to determine the “business health” of a municipality to fulfil its
water services function and to address areas of vulnerability within the WSA. The assessment also shows
municipal interventions and improvements that are required. MuSSA’s are generally completed as part of the
five (5) year reliability studies for municipalities. COU completed their MuSSA assessment in November 2017.
The assessment identifies which key areas of service have the highest vulnerability per municipality. These
key areas provide input into a Municipal Priority Action Plan (MPAP) to redress water service vulnerabilities.
The MPAP in turn links to the Municipal Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) and the associated Master
Plan, the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP).
The spider diagram below illustrates the vulnerability levels across key areas. 40% vulnerability on Water
Resource Management is of concern but the CoU is in the process of developing a Lakes Management Plan
which will assist in managing the water resources including Lake Mzingazi, Lake Cubhu and other lakes.
The table below indicates the 16 key business health attributes/vulnerability levels of the WSA.
